“Everybody’s grandpa” Tim Walz must be a bit of a crank when it comes to traffic. The climate crusader flew 53.9 miles between stops in Michigan this week.
It wasn’t between airport rallies — he actually left airport premises to give a speech at the Public Museum in downtown Grand Rapids.
While it was not reported where Walz overnighted, the next morning, he flew the relatively short distance from Grand Rapids to Capital Region International Airport in Lansing and was greeted by congressional candidate Curtis Hertel.
He didn’t remain at the Lansing airport, either. He ventured to the campus of Michigan State University.
During his time as Minnesota governor, Walz has fashioned himself as a climate crusader and mandated green energy for state residents, regardless of the uncertainty.
